Good morning! Can you believe it is Thursday already? This week on the blog has been so much fun and Thursday is always extra special when we have the opportunity to share a reader's submission. Today's submission comes from Robyn Schaub of Dallas, Texas and makes us think of spring which thankfully is just around the corner!
Supply List:: Printers tray: 7Gypsies; Patterned paper: Upsy Daisy Designs; Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper; Die-Cuts: Quickutz; Stickers: American Crafts; Ribbon: Making Memories; Chipboard: Cosmo Cricket, Fancy Pants; Punch: Martha Stewart Crafts; Mist: Tattered Angels; Flower: Prima; Bling: Zva Creative; Ticket: Jenni Bowlin Studios; Stamp: Stampin' Up; Other: trim, buttons, acrylic paint
"These are some of my favorite photos of my daughters, and I loved the way the black and white photos contrasted with the bright, spring colors in these papers." Robyn
That was exactly what caught our eye as well. We loved the little details in each of the spaces and how the colour palette unified it all. These Printer's Trays are from 7 Gypsies and we have seen some beautiful examples of what you can do with them. In fact, our Senior Editor Kerry McRorie showcased one in our Spring 2010 issue using a beautiful Crate Paper collection. You can view that issue online here! (remember, you can view all our issues online...for free!)

O yes! I love it! Looks like fantastic idea for my dad's 75th birthday, I’m organizing an English high tea party. I’ve invited his brothers and sisters, old mates from his work and friends. He still thinks I need his help in the garden with a few jobs!
